Chapter 131 24 Hours of Love
"He has something to do and left first." Qin Huai decided to play dumb and smiled at Su Luo: "I am really happy to see that you and Zimao can get along peacefully."
Su Luo was still worried about Li Rusong's departure, and combined with the banknotes Li Rusong had just given her, she had a bad feeling in her heart. Now after hearing what Qin Huai said, she forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect that either."
Qin Huai nodded, "After all, it's better to be friends than enemies. Take your time. Maybe you will discover Zimao's strengths and treat him as a confidant like I do."
"Hmm?" This is strange. Judging from the level of their relationship, they are no longer close friends. How could Qin Huai say this?
Qin Huai intended to play dumb and pretend that he didn't know, so he wouldn't have to explain too much to Su Luo, and he wouldn't have to say anything that would hurt her.
"Why is everything so strange?" Su Luo came out of the house and walked around the yard. Not giving up, she looked behind the tree and moved the flower pot to look. Finally, she stood in front of Qin Huai in disbelief, "You just said he left? Where did he go?"
"Well... probably went back to Xuanfu or Beijing." Qin Huai was eager to end the topic, "There are some things about him that I'm not sure about."
Su Luo was completely dumbfounded. The man who had been walking with her like an idiot late at night yesterday, had disappeared in such a short time? She knew Li Rusong was leaving, but even if there was no farewell party, he should have said goodbye to her alone. There was no reason for him to disappear in such a flash.
Looking down at the banknote in her hand, Su Luo wanted to say something but just couldn't. Others wanted to talk but stopped, but she wanted to say something... but was speechless.
Speechless is her current state.
What went wrong?
Qin Huai turned his face away guiltily, "Come to think of it, you and Zimao work really well together. Even I almost thought you two were really together."
"Huh?" Su Luo grabbed her hair tightly, "We are really together."
Qin Huai turned around, his eyes full of surprise, as if he really didn't believe this possibility, it was so realistic that he had to admire his own acting skills.
Su Luo suddenly felt that she must have lost her memory. How come her memory before and after leaving the house couldn't be connected? And the five thousand taels looked weird no matter how she looked at it, and now there was also the weird Qin Huai.
"What did you just say to Li Rusong?"
"He needs some money now. I'm asking if I can help."
"He needs money and he gives me money?" Su Luo's brain was completely silent.
"I think... it's a reward." Although Qin Huai didn't have the heart to say this, he still said it. Qin Huai knew Li Rusong, and his decisions were usually difficult to change. He said he would not be with Su Luo now, so he would not be with him. Even if Su Luo did not abandon him and made his position clear, what he would get in return might be disdain or even more thorough harm.
"Reward?" Su Luo stared at the banknote in a daze, and finally faced her inner judgment. Li Rusong had said it very clearly, and she understood it, but she just refused to admit it.
Does she have to be so unlucky? What is the plot now? A 24-hour romance? Or a true or false romance?
Qin Huai looked at Su Luo and couldn't help but feel a little worried, afraid that she couldn't accept this kind of blow for a while, but Su Luo didn't show any sign of being hurt. Things happened too suddenly, and she didn't have time to get hurt. She had to think things through when she had time. Did Li Rusong have no good feelings for her from the beginning? Was the decision to be with her just to get rid of Qin Qing? Although Su Luo was not a very smart person, she could still feel the true feelings. The question was why did Li Rusong do this? For Qin Huai? Although he always looked like he deserved a beating, Su Luo didn't doubt the brotherhood between him and Qin Huai at all. It was not impossible for him to give up his beloved woman... Ahem! "Beloved woman" was added by Su Luo himself.
The more I think about it, the more likely it becomes!
Su Luo approached Qin Huai fiercely, "Take me to find him."
Qin Huai smiled bitterly, "He is always the one looking for me. I can never find him."
"He's going to Xuanfu. Isn't he the general of Xuanfu? He can't be away for too long, right? He has to go back, right?"
Qin Huai hesitated for a moment, "Luo'er, if he doesn't want anyone to find him, then no one can find him. Do you understand?"
Su Luo looked at him with a sense of loss, "That 'person' is me?"
Qin Huai nodded slightly. Su Luo pursed her lips unnaturally, trying to maintain her last bit of dignity. "I don't understand! I don't understand why a simple matter can make you so complicated. Why do you want me to fulfill your brotherhood? He is an ancient man. He is ignorant, so why do you follow him? Can you give in to your girlfriend? It's no longer popular to stick your neck out for your brothers. Now it's popular to say that women are like clothes and brothers are like limbs. Whoever wears my clothes, I will touch his limbs!"
Su Luo became more and more excited as he spoke, and he still refused to believe that he had become a witness to great friendship. In the end, he almost yelled at Qin Huai, as if he really wanted to do something to him.
"Luo'er!" Qin Huai groaned for a while, "I have no say in the matter between Zimao and you. Whether it is a misunderstanding or a fact, even if he once said that he wanted to be with you, he has left after all, and the reason for his leaving is not because of the reason you said. Although I, Qin Huai, am not a gentleman, I can take it or leave it, and I am definitely not a fussy person. Even if we have to fight, we have to fight it out in an upright manner. I will not accept this kind of cheap charity, and Zimao will not do it even more."
Su Luo's heart ached after hearing these words, and she clenched the banknotes in her hand into a ball. If it wasn't because of Qin Huai, could it be that Li Rusong...really just wanted to get rid of Qin Qing? Could it be that everything was just a misunderstanding?
"Luo'er?" Qin Huai called out several times worriedly.
"I'm fine." Su Luo took a deep breath and showed an unpleasant smile, "Why are you talking so seriously? I was just joking with you. We are just... are..." She said "are" several times but couldn't come up with a clear "are". Finally, she simply raised the wrinkled banknote in her hand, "If I had known that acting in a play could equal my half-year turnover, why would I start a business? Being an actor is still a good way out."
"Luo'er..." Qin Huai was not blind, so he could naturally see that Su Luo was struggling.
"What?" Su Luo carefully put away the banknote, "Do you still want to treat me to a meal? I'm free."
"Are you really okay?"
"What could possibly happen? Now that that bad guy is gone, my life can go back to normal. Oh, right!" Su Luo slapped his forehead, "Zhou Si is about to enter the imperial examination, I have to go and cheer him up as soon as possible. I won't have dinner with you tonight, make an appointment with my secretary another day."
After Su Luo finished speaking, he waved his hand and rushed out of the yard, leaving Qin Huai in the yard feeling disappointed.
Let’s talk about Su Luo. Although she said she went to see Zhou Chongwen, she actually didn’t leave the gate of Su Mansion at all. She found the tallest rockery in the garden, climbed up, and lay on it to bask in the sun, or maybe she was thinking about something.
It's a good place, quiet, the air is fresh, and most importantly, it's located at a high altitude so people won't see any inappropriate expressions on my face.
From childhood to adulthood, Su Luo felt that she had to solve her own problems. Even if she couldn't solve them, there was no point in letting others worry about it. There are many ways to become the focus. Su Luo didn't want to see pity and sympathy in the eyes of others looking at her, and then tolerate her and take care of her everywhere. Who is she? She is Su Luo...
Hehe. Su Luo suddenly laughed uncontrollably. She was... the bravest, bravest Su Luo! It turned out that Li Rusong had already comforted her.
Su Luo did not show up at dinner that day , and the same was true on the second and third days. Although everyone was worried, they also knew that Li Rusong had left, and they thought it was possible that the young couple missed each other so much that they forgot to eat and sleep, and Su Luo was definitely not someone who would starve herself to death. In fact, there were often a few steamed buns missing from the kitchen for no reason in the past two days. The people, led by Bao Zixing and Lao Li, were most worried that eating only steamed buns would lead to insufficient salt intake and nutritional imbalance, so on the third night, they specially left half a plate of refreshing pickles as a side dish for the steamed buns.
Seeing that everyone was so "concerned" about her, Su Luo finally came out of retreat on the fourth day. The first thing she did was to convene a shareholders' meeting. Of course, since the shareholders were not there, she could only discuss it with Bao Zixing. They decided to let Bao Zixing take Wu Yong and the others to look after the store at home while she went out to Luoyang.
"Luoyang?" Bao Zixing was surprised by this destination. He had been in the Su family for so long, but he had never heard of anyone having any connection with Luoyang.
"Yes," Su Luo smiled brightly, revealing a row of small white teeth, "to expand the business."
